Low Overhead Residential Lifts

Premium Grade European Standard Lifetime Support

Experience unparalleled quality and innovation in elevator technology, designed for discerning clients who demand excellence in every detail.

Maximizing Vertical Clearance

Low overhead (headroom) solutions are designed for properties where the top-floor ceiling height is lower than the standard 3500mm required by commercial elevators. By utilizing a "Low-Profile Crosshead" design and relocating the traction machine to a side-mounted position, the required clearance can be reduced to as little as 2600mm. This allows the elevator to serve attic floors or rooms with slanted roofs without having to extend the elevator shaft through the roof of the house.

Comprehensive System Overview

Engineered for Excellence, Built for Performance

Company Innovation & R&D

At Suzhou Dongao, we recognize that many modern villas feature varied rooflines and attic conversions. Our 17,000sqm manufacturing plant employs German-style modular engineering to tackle these vertical constraints. We have developed a specific line of traction lifts that use a 2:1 roping system and compact pulleys to minimize the space needed at the top of the shaft. This innovation has made us a top choice for luxury residences in over 30 provinces, providing access where traditional elevators would require a visible "box" on the roof.

Why Choose Our System?

Core Solutions for Every Need

Tailored Solutions for Premium Residences

Usage Scenarios

  • Attic Bedrooms: Providing direct access to a converted attic floor where the ceiling height is limited by the pitch of the roof.
  • Standard Ceiling Heights: In buildings where the top floor has the same 2800mm height as other floors, and the owner does not want to build a machine room on top.
  • Basement-to-Main-Floor Only: Lifts that only serve the bottom two floors and must stop under a standard residential ceiling.
  • Indoor Mezzanines: Accessing loft spaces within a single room without extending the shaft to the structural roof.
